For the mashed potatoes:

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the butter and milk, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Make the Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and carrots, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the ground lamb or beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned.
- Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the frozen peas and mix well. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Shepherd’s Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a baking dish, spread the meat filling evenly.
- Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing them out with a spatula. You can create peaks with a fork for a nice texture.
- (Optional) Sprinkle some grated cheese on top for extra flavor.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve:
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Shepherd’s Pie!

You can add other vegetables like corn or green beans to the filling if desired.
If you have leftovers, Shepherd’s Pie reheats well in the oven or microwave.
